Shoegasm
Okay, I’m obsessed. I confess. These shoes have been my laptop desktop picture for the past month and half, and even though I recently changed my desktop to the Porsche 911 Targa 4S, these boots are still apart of me:



Fall will soon enough be upon us, and we need to leave the sandal Shoegasm’s alone and move onto the sexy, sassy and sometimes even grungy Fall essential: boots. First up: The Christian Louboutin Toundra Coyote-Fur Trimmed Suede Ankle Boots. 5 and-a-half-inch heel, 1 and-a-half-inch platform, and that leaves you 4 inches of coyote ugly to strut around in. The shoe also comes with wide buckled leather straps, padded insole and leather lining. Oh, and how could we forget the red sole? Timeless. Per usual, Shoegasm is for drooling purposes only, but you can get these boots for a pretty $2,095 if you must! Also, check out the ad for it: Read more…

Bonjour! My Shoegasm posts are usually laced with French intro’s because I am obsessed with that language, just in case you were wondering. For the GodKnowsHowMany-th edition I chose these Gianmarco Lorenzi platforms, which are also a favorite of Bey Sting:



Over 6 inches of heel, balanced with nearly 2.5 inches of platform offers up a 3.5 inch heel, not bad for a pair like these! Fuschia and turquoise suede slingback platform peep-toe sandals, a large yellow cut-out platform and a yellow high heel with a scooped-out detail at the top makes this the perfect weapon for a Summer time ‘fit. I recommend a pop of color with an all white look, but you can always crush it against a yellow or even red! You can really play with a shoe like this, Beyonce did! As usual, Shoegasm is for drooling purposes only, but you can snag this pair if you must for $581.

Ooh La La! I have developed a serious attraction to crystal and gem embellishment on shoes and a serious love for Gianmarco Lorenzi. I came across these bad girls while web surfing:


The crystal embellishment against the black, the suede lined gapped platform with embellishment inside, and the embellishment going up the heel, this shoe is to die for! With a near 6-inch heel, and 3/4 inch platform, these are the kind of shoes you sit down and stunt in. As usual, Shoegasm is for drooling purposes only, but you can get them here for $2,995.

For some reason, I have developed an obsession with shoes that have rhinestone detailing… Everywhere! I peeped these Gianmarco Lorenzi sandals while browsing on Polyvore.com and I stopped mid click:



With embellished heels and platform, this shoe is definitely for the night! The T-bar ankle strap is also embellished, and the gapped platform detail gives it a bit of an edge. Sophisticated but not simple, this 1-and-a-half inch platform gives balance to the 5 3/4 inch heel. As usual, Shoegasm are for drooling purposes only, but if you must you can cop them here for $1,781.

If anyone knows how to make a hot heel, guaranteed to make a statement, it’s Giuseppe Zanotti:


With golden Swarovski crystals set across straps of ultra-lush suede, guaranteed to catch the light with every step, you have no choice but to shine in these. Three buckled straps traverse the ankle and instep, leading to a single vamp strap. 4-1/2″ covered heel makes this one a hard one to walk in for the inexperienced pavement strutter, since there is no platform. As usual, Shoegasm is for drooling purposes only, but you can cop it for $1,975 if you wish.

Lanvin really has my heart this season, as I already featured one of their shoes for ‘Shoegasm’. Really loving their chain details and the spin they put on standard fabrics such as suede and snakeskin. I’m really feeling these pumps most of all:




With a dark wooden heel that measures at 4.5 inches, and half-inch wood and leather platform, this shoe lessens your chance of saying “my heel broke” by up to 40%. #omgfacts. It has a detachable gold chain at the ankle and a black leather ankle strap. You can get these shoes here for $1,900, but as usual they are for drooling purposes only.

When I saw these, I thought of you… These Brian Atwood pumps are just, ahhhhh! The lavender heel and toe, gold studs and transparent plexi panels make it the perfect shoe for Spring time fabulosity:



5.5 inches of heel, and 1 inch of platform, that means you’re only walking on 4.5-inches of Orchid heaven! Spice up your whites and pastels with this soft color pump. But watch out for that instep! Ouch, I can see it from here that the instep is crazy! Not even the highest arch could maneuver that. If you must, you can cop them here for $800.

Hello, lover… Where are my sophisticated rock stars at? This shoe definitely gives me a “lady in the streets, freak in the sheets” kind of vibe! It’s classy, it’s clean, but the studded front gives it an undeniable edge. Loving them!



With a 4.5 inch heel and 1 inch platform, you’re pretty much walking on 3.5 inches of heel… Score! Not to mention the color and vibe is perfect for Spring- baby pink patent leather with transparent PVC, these shoes are sure to say exactly what you need it to say!
As usual, Shoegasm is for drooling purposes only, but if you must have then get them here for $885.

It’s necessary that at least once a week, AT LEAST, I bring you a shoe to drool over! I stumbled upon these Lanvin pumps while innocently browsing the web, and this one is definitely for my sophisticated bad girls:



Wait, wait.. Keep it right there! With a 4.5 inch heel, and half-inch platform, this is definitely not one that will demand you stay seated the whole night! Not to mention, these can carry you from day-to-night. You can detach the gold ankle chain for an elegant at the office look, then throw it on for an after hours event
If you dare want to dip your feet in these, you can cop them here for $1,245– but I did intend them for drooling purposes only!
